An art exhibit called "Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age" comes to NYC Nov. 13 – Dec. 6, and Chicago Jan. 25 – Feb. 21. According to a description on www.illegal-art.org, the show "will celebrate what is rapidly becoming the 'degenerate art' of a corporate age: art and ideas on the legal fringes of intellectual property. Some of the pieces in the show have eluded lawyers; others have had to appear in court."
Check out the witty disclaimer that pops up when you launch the show's web site. Excerpt:
"No Warranty. The Website is being delivered to you AS IS and we
make no warranty as to its use or performance. WE DO NOT AND CANNOT

COMPUTER, KILLS YOUR PET, SLEEPS WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, DIGS UP
ALL YOUR OLD POETRY AND LAUGHS AND LAUGHS, THEN CALLS UP YOUR FRIENDS
AND READS THEM ALL THOSE REALLY EMBARRASING PARTS OUT OF YOUR
JOURNAL, LIKE WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE "DESTINED FOR BEAUTY" OR SOME
SHIT LIKE THAT, WE MAKE NO GUARANTEES AND WILL SIMPLY JOIN WITH
EVERYONE AND LAUGH AT YOUR SORRY ASS, BECAUSE DAMN, THERE'S NO
FREAKING WARRANTY HERE. GET IT? NO WARRANTY. NONE. AT ALL."
